From today:
““The bipartisan House-passed Cut, Cap, Balance bill remains the only plan on the table, the only one that preserves our AAA rating, and is only four Democrat votes away from a Senate majority to end this debt crisis,” said Senator DeMint. “I will work to force another vote on Cut, Cap & Balance next week because the President and Democrats have not offered the American people any other viable solution...The President created this crisis by irresponsible spending and borrowing that has left our economy in shambles, and if he’s unwilling to simply agree to balance the budget in 10 years then he is not a credible negotiating partner.”
unfortunately, that is an old quote. It is not from today.
Interesting that they reran it.
Maybe somebody can elucidate and clarify for me.
If the Senate is going to gut whatever the House passes and turn it into a Reid/McConnell bill, why was there a need to pass the latest Boehner bill which passed today?
Why couldn’t Reid use the Cut Cap and Balance Plan (which he tabled) , gut it for their purposes and send that back to the House?
Why did we go through all the agony of passing another bill knowing it was going to be tabled as well?
It’s all Kabuki. This latest bill will be totally liberaled up so that Pelosi’s party could even vote for it when it comes back to the House, and our guys will be left looking like saps because their vote won’t even be needed to pass it. The rinos will help Pelosi push it across.
The only thing accomplished by this charade is that the media and dems got another chance to trash and divide the Tea Party guys in Congress.
I would have just told Harry that we sent them the CCB legislation and let him deal with it. Don’t know why we had to do a re-do.
